The Sun Also Rises

A Photoshop painting I recently completed to remind myself that the sun does indeed also rise just as it must set come evening. As one day ends, so another starts anew, with fresh hopes and dreams. A blank canvas to create away.

This Father's Day was the first for my husband since his father's passing in March. A difficult time for him and us. A glimpse into the future for me. He was a bundle of raw emotions and nerves. A few tears and a few laughs brought the day to an end, just as each day must end. A loss that runs so deep that words cannot begin to shed light on the experience. An experience that can only be shared, quietly and with a comforting embrace.

A reminder to us all, to cherish each passing day, to take notice of the passing of time for it passes all too quickly, whether we notice or not.

The sun rises. The sun sets. Two constants in an ever-changing world.
